Vivi: What should we do?  Nanohana is a large town.
	It will be very hard to search for Luffy-san!

Sanji: Don't worry, Vivi-chan.
	We'll just look for the noisiest spot in town.
	He'll be there.

Usopp: Hahaha, you got that right.

Nami: Anyways.
	I wish he would pay more heed to the bounty on his head.
	Especially in a big country like this one...!!

Zoro: Just let take care of himself.
	Let's go eat.  We can think things through after that.

 - Page 49 -

Vivi: Wait...!!
	That's Mr. 3's ship!!

Usopp: What?!
	Hold on...  you mean he's not dead...?!

Karoo: Quack

Vivi: That ship can only move through the power of the "Doru Doru Fruit"...
	He must be in the kingdom...

Townsfolk: {Did you hear that?  One of the "Whitebeard Pirates"...
	I've heard of that marine, Smoker...!!}

Ace: So?
	What should I do...?!

Smoker: Sit tight and let me arrest you.

Ace: Rejected.
	Sorry, no can do.

Luffy: What's that weird smell getting in the way?
	(sniff sniff sniff sniff)
	(sniff sniff sniff sniff)
	THERE!!!

	THAT'S A RESTAURANT!!!

Smoker: I'm looking for a different pirate.
	And I'm not really interested in you...

Ace: Then let me go.

Smoker: I can't do that.

 - Page 52 -

Smoker: As long as I'm a marine...
	And you're a pirate...!!!

Luffy: YAHOOOOO!!!

Ace: What a dumb reason...
	Chill out, man.

Luffy: ROCKET!!!

[Nanohana, Town Limits]

Nami: It's gorgeous!
	I really like it!!

Vivi: I hate to complain, when you asked us to wear these, but...
	Sanji-san, these make us look more like dancers than normal citizens!

Sanji: That's okay!  Dancers ARE citizens!!
	It's okay as long as they don't find out you ladies are a princess and a pirate, right?

Vivi: But walking through the desert will be a little...

Sanji: If you get tired, I'll carry you!  Haha...

 - Page 61 -

Sanji: Even if you guys are camoflaged not to look like pirates...
	Compared to the girls, you still look like bandits!

Zoro: How are you any different?

Usopp: Huh?  Whatcha doin', Chopper?

Karoo: Quack.

Chopper: My nose is going to fall off.

Vivi: Your nose must be sensitive, Tony-kun.
	Nanohana is famous for its perfume.

Chopper: Perfume?

Vivi: There are extremely powerful ingredients in it...

Nami: Like this?

Chopper: AAAAH!!
	STOP IT, STOP IT!!!

Sanji: Aaaaa, I'll fall in love all the way to the gates of hell!

Zoro: Can you get any dumber?

Sanji: WHAT?!!

 - Page 62 -

Vivi: Well, I've collected up the materials to make a journey through the Alabastan desert...

Zoro: Where are we going, Vivi?

Vivi: Well...  first and foremost, I want to stop the rebellion!
	We don't know when they might rise up and cause needless bloodshed.
	And the base of the Rebellion, where the leader lives...
	Is an oasis town called "Yuba".
	To go to Yuba, we...

Zoro: WAIT, HIDE!!

Vivi: Wha-
	What?

Zoro: Marines.
	Why are they here...?!

 - Page 63 -

Zoro: Sheesh, what a ruckus...

Marines: DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!!

Zoro: Did they find a pirate or something?

Crew: {NOT YOU!!!!!}

Luffy: Hey!!  Zoro!!!

Zoro: WHAT THE?!!!

Marines: There's the Straw-Hat crew!!!

Crew: Come back once you've lost them, you idiot!!!

Luffy: Oh!  You're all here!!

Smoker: Get back, men!!

Marines: Captain!

 - Page 64 -

Smoker: YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!!!
	"WHITE BLOW"!!!

Ace: "KAGEROU"!!! (Heat Haze)

Luffy: Huh?!

Smoker: What do you want?

Ace: Cut it out.

 - Page 65 -

Ace: You may be "smoke", but I'm "fire".
	Your powers don't stand a chance against mine.

Nami: Who is that...?!

Luffy: ACE...?!

Ace: You haven't changed a bit...
	Luffy.

SBS Corner

O: I'd like to take the time to make a little explanation for a certain group of my readers.  In Volume 17, there was a character named
	Chessmarimo.  He is a combination of the characters "Chess" and "Kuromarimo", and when he talks, it's supposed to sound like both
	of them speaking at the same time.  In order to represent that in the manga, I stacked the letters on top of each other...  But,
	oh how they came...  A flood of complaints.  From the mothers of small children. "This book is misprinted!!"  They said that to 
	the editors at the company.  I'm extremely sorry.  Please, mothers, accept it for what it is!!  Just read the book instead.
	Chessmarimo is HILARIOUS, ISN'T HE?!! (<- hasn't learned a thing)

D: I have a question, Ei-chan...  on panel 6 of Volume 17, page 176, what is Chopper doing?  It just looks like the "Hen na ojisan" to 
	me!!  Is that right?  Please tell me!!
O: Ah...  darn.

(Thanks once again to Greg Werner for this bit of info: Hen na Ojisan is ANOTHER character that Shimura Ken portrays and that little 
movement Chopper did is similar to his dance. [The other character being Baka Tono doing "Aiiiiiiin!"])
(see SBS chapter 65)

D: Hey---  Oda-sense---  One Piece---  is just sooo----  cool!!  When I was in----  class---  I accidentally drew BUGGY----  in my 
	notebook!!  I have "Accidentally Draw Buggy" disease!  Oh yeah---  when Shanks and Buggy were young, they were arguing about 
	which is colder, the North Pole or the South Pole---  Which one's right---?  Okay, goodbye.
O: Ahh, the flashback from Volume 3.  The answer is, the South Pole.  The Arctic is not a continent, it's just a mass of ice.  Land is 
	colder than water, so the Antarctic is correct.  So Shanks was right.  However, the South Pole is not the coldest place in the 
	world.
